Jack was division director at RRD twice while I worked there! I guess being a a Louisiana born boy, we had a shared bond! I sat with him at several dinners and enjoyed him as a friend outside our professional relationship. We competed in church league basketball against each other! He was a good man that I admired and respected. Will be missed and I am sending prayers to his family!

Hi Janelle,
My heart goes out to you. So sorry to read of the loss of your much loved Jack. Widowhood is not what we wanted, but how things unfold. You have endured much stress, so take time to slow down and be good to yourself. Be careful with decisions you have to make, unless pressing matters dictate otherwise. Take your time. Grief is a rocky road, do only what you are comfortable with.
